One or two men (I think Malvo was a patsie by the way), with a Bushmaster rifle, paralyzed three states for an extended period of time. Imagine what 100 trained snipers could do...

WyrdeOne, I like the way you're thinking there, but don't you think that if an _organized_ team of snipers tried to muck things up, that the military would bring out a bigger force to track those insurgents down?

If there were an organized group with Bushmasters, they could hide in the woods and so forth (Americans are the best riflemen in the world) as they did back in the American revolution but with echolocation and muzzleflashes, they'd be quickly crushed by mortars, napalm, global-hawks, etc. Do you really think that Americans with rifles can change their government? How could this happen based on the advanced gear the military would bring to bear on them? Not only that but if the Pentagon had ANY reason to go full-tilt-military here on US soil, it would begin a very dark period for EVERY American citizen, not just the riflemen of the insurgency.

I still think that non-violent acts are the only way to truly change an empire as Ghandi proved. That scene in the movie where all those people keep walking up and getting bashed with batons and then getting up and walking right back up to the gate... That's power.

But they caught Saddam...how odd is that??
They took the nation of Iraq in 2 weeks. I doubt they could take Miami in two weeks or two months.
with napalm no less.

So what, they are equaly valid politically and by law.
If you say the words in the Dec. of Ind. cannot justify actions today what are we saying? America is dead?
We need a strategic plan to bring our goverment back into accountability to the people for it's actions abroad and internationally, for it's relationships to corporations and the practices they allow corporations to ensue be it in the national interest of the people or not.

There are plenty of highly trained, pissed off, well armed men and women in America who disagree with what their government is doing
I believe the U.S. military will have factions that will revolt with the massess.
I doubt the revolution will be organized. Certainly not televised

How long did it take them to catch the Unibomber? BTK killer? Gacy killed like 33 boys, Atlanta Child killer got a bunch too

As far as modern weaponry is concerned, even the most advanced attack helicopter in the world is no match to a tater-gun loaded with dog chains.
